Running spyware/adware removal tools on windows machines usual pick up interesting programmes running. Jason any luck on figuring out what was chewing the bandwidth?

We included some of these in our overnight test and so far we're safe. But the applications we found on Google's first page of results are shockingly easy to run - that break through WEP and WPA. And there are loads of MAC address spoofing methods out there too. I don't want to publish the hacking tools here but mail me if you'd like me to send you the links. @JBagley We’re giving it our best shot man :) See the update above.

If anyone else nearby wants to use it, you'll get some money back to make up for the GB lost!

And make sure there's a password on the Telkom router!

Would you mind elaborating on how the heck you're supposed to crack WPA? Are you referring to Google or Google Applications? You've confused me a bit.

Problem is that Wifi is very convenient and there must be a sure fire way of restricting access? How do internet cafe's and the likes handle it? Shame dude, that’s not cool.
